Active Volunteer Opportunities
Park Road participates directly in the following programs:
Roof Above
Dinners at Roof Above
Roof Above has decided to discontinue the hot lunch program on Saturdays. Instead, they proposed to us the opportunity to prepare and serve supper on Saturday evenings every other month. Park Road will pay for the meal from our mission budget, as we have been doing, and the shelter will purchase the food and have it on hand. Our volunteers will arrive at the men’s shelter at 3:30 in the afternoon to prepare the meal, with supper served at 5p, and we would be able to leave before 6p. We will maintain the schedule of helping on the second Saturday, every other month

We need volunteers from time to time to help with transportation for our Honduran family. One of the recurring needs is for someone to take Yolani grocery shopping each week, usually on Saturday or Sunday but Monday would work as well.
The bulk of the shopping can be done at Walmart or Aldi's or Target and afterwards, there are several items that require a stop at Compare Foods where some Honduran products are sold. The entire trip takes about 90 minutes. Speaking Spanish is not required, but being familiar with Google Translate would be helpful. Other transportation needs arise occasionally and these will be posted here as well. Please review the available slots in the sign up link and pick one that works for your schedule.
NOTE: Each weekend (Sat.-Mon.) only requires one person to sign up! Please choose the day you would like to go and note the time you will arrive at their house. Dan is available to answer any questions you might have. Thank you!
